Package: ntfs-3g
Version: 1:2014.2.15AR.3-3
Severity: serious
Justification: I said so
ntfs-3g ships shared objects in a non-private location and these are used
by other packages. ntfs-3g does not have a proper shared library package.
Currently ntfs-3g advertises its ABI through a virtual package. This makes it
difficult to detect breakage in other packages when that ABI changes.
Upstream appears to want to bump ABI regularly.
ntfs-3g should provide a proper shared library package conforming to
policy ยง8.1. It would be helpful if the maintainer worked with depending
packages to ensure a smooth transition.
